A misconfigured load balancer can route all traffic to one server while others idle, drop connections silently, or fail to detect unhealthy backends. These problems are invisible until they cause production incidents. Here are the most dangerous LB misconfigurations and how to fix them.
Audit logs are critical for compliance and debugging. But an audit_logs table that grows without bounds will fill your disk, slow every query that touches it, and eventually crash your database. Here''s how to keep your logs without letting them kill production.
Your logs are full. Gigabytes per hour. Health check pings, SQL query text, Redis GET/SET for every cached value. When a real error occurs, it''s buried under 50,000 noise lines. You log everything and still can''t find what you need in a production incident.
